It's going to be a process...
Running is one of those activities that you can't jump into very apbruptly: the transition must be painfully gradual. Thus, I spent 30 minutes yesterday and 45 minutes today on the elliptical, hopefully simulating the running motion without exerting my deficient muscles too much. However, my training resources in South Africa will be limited, so I'll need to be ready to run for hours at a time before January 17th. Something tells me I won't be running particularly fast...
Oh, and my theory on training being able to boost the immune system might not be incredibly accurate for my body. I am potentially coming down with a new and exciting illness, unless my immune system can get itself in gear and realize that fighting, while painful in the short run, will make everyone much happier in the long run.
